Rolling Thunder?  One coaster?

I think not.

I also think not even as to Racer at Kings Island.  If each side can run independently, it is two different rides, in my book.

See, for instance Laser Loops...which could and did get split and sent two different ways...Would you have counted it as one at SFGAd, then as two after it was split?  How silly.

This poll is for the draft, not a way of counting credits. Sure u could move some multi track coasters  and count them as two different coasters but other rides depend on one side keeping them up. Hence... coastermom can have both sides of lighting racer. I think all multi designs use  only one blueprint as well, so it's considered one ride when sold to the parks . Sure we count them as two different credits, surely everyone here counts racer at KD three by now !! Haha .

Well, since I don't do such things (and I don't even count steel coasters anywho, except hypers and Volcano: The Blast Coaster, which made me, I think I shall quietly slink back into the woodwork!

Racer at KD?  That would be Rebel Yell...

Carry on!

Trick question, as some dual track coasters are exactly the same both sides in my view, like Gemini... wheras, Rebel Yell, Rolling Thunder, etc. are diferent experiences.. So I had to say no, but it's a trick question.

Technically Gemini isn't 100% identical either. Each turn is different and they have opposite helixes at the end. I'm not in the draft, so my opinion wouldn't matter, but I say just leave it up to Steve since he's running the show

Rebel Yell's two tracks are mirror images of each other.  As are Racer, Thunder Road....

To me multi track coasters are all one coaster... I was surprised the while doing a track record on some random site that they count most as two coasters. I realize they can be different experiences, but under that logic you could count the beast (day-ride), and the beast (night-ride) as two coasters. I just think the whole thing is splitting hairs for the most part. Question, do any multi track coasters have seperate loading stations?

This poll is ONLY to simplify the Draft so players don't have to pick one side and take a real ride and split it into a fantasy ride.Get it? Whether or not you think a dual track coaster counts once or twice is irrelevent.

I promise I will not be picking Dueling Dragons this time.

Oops... we probably should have made it clear that only people in the draft are to vote.  We already have 11 votes but have no idea how many of those are in the draft.  Since only 10 are playing, the odds are the majority of us did the poll?

I figured putting it in the draft section would tell people something. I guess not Tongue

If I need to make a new poll I will. I also am not voting.

People don't look at the category of a thread when they see it listed in the Recent Threads list (I know I don't).
